Southwest: Business updates

Santa Fe, N.M.-based wholesaler Just the Best Ltd. Co. is building on its casino business, said Stacy Wilson, sales and marketing director.

In 2012, Just the Best added the Hilton-owned Buffalo Thunder Resort in Santa Fe to its customer roster. Buffalo Thunder is the wholesaler’s second casino customer — Sandia Casino in Albuquerque, N.M. — has been a customer for four years, Wilson said.

“They are two of the top five customers,” she said. “The volume is significant — about $10,000 a week.”

“We’re just scratching that surface right now,” said Delgado, whose company has government contracts to deliver through New Mexico “all the way to the Colorado line.”

Finding more customers along the route makes sense, he said.

“I think we need to get more into the restaurants and foodservice-type customers out there,” said Delgado, who also has some chain store customers in Albuquerque. “There’s more that can be done there (in Albuquerque) also."
